The majority of flaws are minor and relatively insignificant, but there are a few major and more attractive examples, e.g. missing upper right stroke of K (position 38), colored spot on the second A (position 48) or indented U (position 60) etc. Altogether 32 constant and part-constant flaws have been noted which most collectors should be able to identify without major effort.
